Retains plenty of ability aged nine and rallied well for neck success over C&D most recently, taking AW record to 11-69; back up the weights but won off this mark in 2022 and 2024; may remain competitive.

Blows hot and cold but he is on a dangerous mark and his second of 17 at Ascot (5f, good to firm) in May was a fine effort; subsequent run in the Dash at Epsom can be forgiven (ground) and this should be more to his liking; other pace influences on show.
